TWILA : March 7, 2025
It may be a slower time on most farms in Louisiana, but that doesn’t mean Louisiana farmers aren’t busy. In this week’s show, Avery Davidson takes us to Washington, D.C., where a group of Louisiana Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers traveled to Capitol Hill to discuss tariffs with lawmakers and advocate for policies impacting the agricultural community. We also explore how the new administration's changes could impact farmers, particularly with the H-2A labor program and federal job cuts affecting weather forecasting services. Plus, we kick off our Women’s History Month segment, highlighting women in agriculture, starting with Louisiana Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee Chair Michele Simoneaux.
